(CNN) – A sheriff’s office in California showed they will come to the aid of all creatures, including a dog who survived quite a fall.
The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office said a hiker reported his dog named Moscow fell about 200 feet down a waterfall near Lake Tahoe last weekend.
Rescuers found the pup at the base of the waterfall. He was being taken care of by a good Samaritan who was ice climbing in the area.
Since Moscow had problems moving due to his injuries, the rescuers used a harnessed backpack designed for transporting animals to get him to safety.
Moscow was taken to an emergency vet due to his injuries but is said to be doing well.
